The zircon grains I got from my peralkaline granites are irregular and stubby with 1:1 predominant aspect ratio from length 60 - 130 um and width 45 - 80 um to give a sub-angular outline (bipyramidal). It also appear cloudy and brown in transmitted light. More so, there are no oscillatory growth zone discernible on the CL image (see attached images).
